- Rests between the upper rib cage and the scapula (shoulder blade) and is an important bone, as it attaches the arm to the body
- Car accidents also frequently lead to clavicle fractures, as a result of impact with either the seat belt, steering wheel or from bracing against the dashboard with extended arms.
INTERESTING FACT
- Babies can even suffer clavicle fractures during passage through the birth canal, but fortunately the bones of children and infants heal extremely quickly.
- No surgery is needed if it's a non-displaced fracture and both sides of the clavicle are still lined up properly; an arm sling usually suffices.
That is actually very interesting! Good post.
